About

I am an application developer with 12+ years of experience with a strong interest in JavaScript and Front-End engineering. I specialize in implementing complex Front End solutions for high scalability and high availability architecture.Often front-end development of an application is overlooked, but a project that combines design, back-end development and the layer that users interact with, from my experience is the most important to get right.I like developing projects from the ground up to provide the most suitable and scalable architecture keeping the industry best practices in mind. Few of my technical skills and specializations are: HTML5, CSS3, LESS, SCSS, SASS, Responsive DesignAnt Design, Semantic UI, Bootstrap, Angular Material, Google’s MDLVanilla JavaScript, ES6/7/8/9/10/11, Lodash, Object Oriented JavaScript, AJAX, jQuery RxJS, eCharts, Highcharts, Highmaps, AngularJS 1.x, RequireJSReactJS, Redux, Redux Thunk, Redux Saga, FluxNodeJS, ExpressJS, NGINX, Handlebars, REST APIsJasmine, KarmaRollup, Webpack, Grunt, Gulp, Bower, and NPMWeb/Mobile Web developmentSingle Page Application(SPA) developmentOnsite SEO(Search Engine Optimization)Project management and handling end-to-end delivery from requirement gathering, architecture setup to deployment.Github: https://github.com/sankalplakhina
